In "Lake House" you spend your vacation surrounded by the stunning nature of the "Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park" in the south coast of Portugal.

Casa do Lago is located in a spacious mansion on a beautiful lake, about 800 m from the sea. The village Rogil with cafes, stores, restaurants, it is about 1 km. Our beach is within walking distance, many more by car. The apartment offers a beautiful, bright living room, dining room with fully equipped kitchenette. In the rear is the master bedroom with shower / toilet en suite.

In the village Rogil are several small Supermercados, a bakery, several bars and a restaurant. Fresh fish and vegetables are available in the small market hall. Larger shops are located in Aljezur (7 km), very large in the shopping malls of the Southern Algarve (about 20 km). The beaches and the town of Odeceixe are very pretty, lively in summer (night) life in the square.

Our experience at Casa do Lago was simply great. The apartment was very very clean and well equiped with everything you might need on vacations. The internet connection inside and outside the house was reasonable good, the shower was great and every windows were protected with mosquitos net so we didn't have any mosquito attacks. The apartments have a beautiful view and there we had a very quiet stay. Helga is a lovely host and she visited and asked if everything was ok. Meanwhile Maria, the housekeeper, was there almost everyday and is super kind and helpful. We did have to bring our barbecue with us because there's none in the small apartments but Helga told us she would arrange one on the end of the season for the future guests. We definitely recommend this place and will come back as soon as possible!

Helga Maria was very helpful prior to our stay at Casa do Lago. A very comfortable, quiet apartment within walking distance of a lovely little beach and a short drive to many other excellent beaches. The village of Rogil was quiet but friendly with a selection of cafes and small shops. We especially liked Odeciexe, 10 minutes to the north and its beaches.

Jane2016-09-07T00:00:00Z

Nice appartment for 2 in a very quiet area. View to the sea. The house was very clean. To recommend for people who look for quietness. Rogil itself has a supermarket and some shops. For restaurants we advise to go to Odeceixe or Aljezur.

Jan2016-10-07T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful, quiet time in the Casa do Lago. The house is very beautiful and perfectly equipped. We were warmly empgangen and we felt like in paradise. At night you can eat on the terrace while looking over the sea and enjoy the sunset. The region with the impressive nature can be at its best, with the car. There are many enchanting beaches in the area - also nice for surfers as us. We would definitely come back.

Athene2016-09-20T00:00:00Z

Very nice flat in beautiful and quite surroundings. You can heare the sea. The beach is quite near. Everything in the house is new and you have everything what you need.

Beautifully quiet. Well appointed with everything you might need. Lovely and clean. Helga has really thought carefully about how to fit out the house and it has turned out fantastically well.

Rose2016-08-18T00:00:00Z

The apartment is equipped to a high standard and all relatively new! Very satisfying was the cleanliness! The ambiance with the lake, a small sea view is gorgeous to sit in the evening watching the sunset outside. jogging morning times briefly to the beach etc. We enjoyed it very much!

A truly unique and peaceful place, away from urbanized areas. This freshly renovated farmhouse is hosted in a large property with access to the stunning coastline in the Costa Vicentina natural park and a magnificent pine forest.

This newly restored apartment is set inside the natural park of the Costa Vicentina. The apartment occupies half of the farmhouse, the other half is made of 4 rooms, independently rented. The property comprises of a vast pine forest and 2 km of coast line with stunning views and access to secluded beaches.
The apartment is a few hundred meters away from the Ocean, 20 minutes walk within the property through sand dunes and pine forest.
The apartment is spacious, carefully furnished and decorated. It occupies half of the whole farmhouse. It has a double room, plus another room able to accommodate 3 extra people in either 3 single beds or another double bed for a couple. The kitchen is fully equipped with washing machine and gas oven. The bathroom has a modern walk-in shower with forest view. The living room and kitchen are in the same large open space with bright wide landscape windows. There is an outdoor wooden deck leading to the garden and shaded garden lounge with hammocks and seating spaces (the garden and lounge are shared). The black water system of the house is conceived to be environmentally friendly with a natural filtering system which bring the filtered water back to the garden.
The house is easy to access and yet privately located, in the Rogil district, between Aljezur and Odeceixe. Here you can experience magnificent vistas of the whole Vicentine coastline, while walking in an enchanted wild garden with hundreds aromatic plants spreading their scents. At night, there is no light pollution, allowing unique star gazing sessions with live nature as background music.
The house has excellent mobile phone coverage (and wifi) in case you need to stay connected, but it is actually the perfect place to disconnect from technology and reconnect with nature!

We are centrally located in the middle of the Costa Vicentina Natural Park, allowing exploration of both the North and South beaches and towns. The property is between two of the most beautiful wild beaches of the coast: Praia Vale Dos Homens and Praia da Carriagem.

Great thanks to our guest! The location is as described in the ad: it would be difficult to find a better place: space in the (brand new) house with nice rooms and well thought furniture, the house is located at the far end of a tiny town (rogil) with (at least) one good and simple restaurant, pretty garden with private access to a private beach below a cliff, not to mention our guests who were available and able to give very good advice for the places to see, to eat, to bathe.... (OMG, the water is so cold in this region :-)). We would recommend 100%!

Eric & Anne2015-08-07T00:00:00Z

We have spent the last day of our holiday when Diogo & Chiara. The house and the surroundings were beautiful! We can only recommend this place.

Ines2015-10-04T00:00:00Z

An amazing location to explore the west coast. The accommodation was spacious and very comfortable providing a really relaxing holiday.

Carl2015-10-31T00:00:00Z

Our stay met all our expectation! Cosy appartment, great countryside, lovely people (in particular Olga) and a perfect hub to explore the surrounding beaches/places/restaurants. We really enjoyed it! And even our 1-year-old fell in love with that place right from the beginning.

Björn2017-06-15T00:00:00Z

Barry2016-08-18T00:00:00Z

Diego and Chiara created a green, easy going and relaxing holiday home in the old farmhouse. Thanx for having us! Great place - and it comes with tomatoes, pumpkins, herbs, water melon and some wine :) Apartment is nice, very clean and as described. Garden and shady front deck for breakfast and a drink. Lots of nature and the BEACH is just wow. When you need tips or for a chat Diego and Chiara are there. Absolutely recommended - we hope to return.

Claudia2015-09-06T00:00:00Z

We had three peaceful nights in Diogo and Chiara's amazing farm house, thank you again for that! The house is completely renovated earlier this year and we could stay in one perfectly equipped and very spacious half of it. The taste in the arrangement already gives you an idea of the host's great character and meeting them only confirms this impression. We talked a lot in particular with Diogo about his ambitious and fascinating plans of creating a place of encounter and sustainability. The would be worth visiting even without having the pleasure of staying in their house. There is a sandy little path to truely untoched part of the portuguese west coast with an incredible view on a sunset as you want it to happen during your holidays. In summary we enjoyed our stay very much and can only leave the most honest recommendation at this point. Nora and Lars

The check-in process was not ideal. We waited in the reception for a long time. There was a very old sick person in one room which we observed when we were waiting. It turned out that the host was in the bakery next door, but there was no way of us knowing that at the time. The power went out during the night for about 3 hours and there were only a few candles available. Not the best.

Janaki2016-03-28T00:00:00Z

Fantastic hotel in Rogil. We arrived late from our travels & were welcomed into the hotel. The host recommended a great place to eat across the road that was still open. The next morning we had breakfast in their delicious cafe which was below our rooms. A lovely surprise to find out breakfast was included in our stay. Clean, spacious & modern. Definitely recommend to all if you heading down to explore Southern Portugal.

Carolynn2015-09-16T00:00:00Z

The apartment is quite comfortable and as described in the ad. The location is good and breakfast is quite varied. The value for money does not pay and overall friendliness of the staff leaves much to be desired.

Luisa's villa is beautiful place, very relaxing, full of nature all around! Luisa give us nice tips about restaurante, beaches etc. She's is a lovely person, we will be back again!! Thanks for all... Paulo&Camila&Bianca&Flavio&Xica&Teco with love...

You’ll love my place because it is close to the beaches and because of the ambiance, surrounded by nature, local fauna and flora. My place is good for couples and solo adventurers. There are two open apartments completed with everything that you need to have a confortable stay and a bigger family house. No one will share your place since all the spaces are totally private and with separate private entrances and locks.
The place is located in the heart of Vicentina Coast, a Natural Park.

The property is easily acessible by the national road N120. It is 1 hour drive from Faro International Airport and 2h and 40mn drive from Lisbon International Airport. Within 5 mn from Aljezur with its castle and historic centre, it is also a 30 mn short drive from other interesting spots such as Lagos and Sagres with their castle, historic centre, fortress, megalithic monuments and roman ruins. Also close by you have the beautiful Serra de Monchique with its magificent views and great restaurants up the hill where you can enjoy a great typical portuguese meal and taste a local Medronho.

By the pictures you can see that the house is in the middle of an hectare of agriculture land.

Maria's home is beautiful, comfortable, clean, and tranquil. The photos accurately represent the home. There were no surprises, except for how peaceful and soothing the home and its surroundings made me feel. Maria provided some lovely welcome gifts, such as locally made pastries and jams. The home was well-equipped with anything you might need for a comfortable stay. I hope to return soon!

Beth2017-08-24T00:00:00Z

A real treasure in the area of Odeceixe! Beautiful designed apartment located in the nature, we felt really relaxed here. Maria was super nice and welcoming, she left us a few local things for breakfast, which we really appreciated! Highly recommended!

Alina2017-08-19T00:00:00Z

Maria from start to finish was amazing. Directions to and from the house were very well communicated. The space is very relaxing and tranquil, perfect for a trip to turn off. You need car, but very close to some of the best beaches in the area.

Spencer2017-08-14T00:00:00Z

A real find! Very happy with our stay. We had an idyllic dinner and breakfast with local goodies from the bakery and items Maria had left for us in a welcome pack. The terrace area is just lovely. We really felt a peaceful tranquility. Very well designed and decorated. Super well equipped and tasteful. Just like the photos. Only slight issue is that you can hear people staying in the main house so if you go to bed early this isn't ideal. But we were being early bird bores so think this was just our issue! X

A stay in a magnificent natural landscape. Pure relaxation, switching off from the stresses of everyday life in a very short time. Rest, relaxation.
The beaches nearby for swimming, sunbathing, surfing ... a. Trips to the southern Algarve immerse etc. in the world of tourism with golf, surfing, water events, children's animations, boat trips, cities, shopping centers.

I didn't know what to expect of this place, but this was maybe the best part of the trip. It's a beautiful mansion with everything you need to cook, wash clothes and so on. The place was very clean, spacious, surrounded by nature. Although our host Helga was not there she was always available through email. A car, scooter or bikes are handy since the place is 1km away from the small city of Rogil and 8km away from Aljezur, where you can find bigger markets and stuff. I would definitely stay here again.

Little tip: don't miss Vale dos Homens Beach, which is just one kilometer far from Casa do Lago. It's astonishing!

Yuri2017-06-14T00:00:00Z

João2016-09-06T00:00:00Z

We have been a week in the two bedroom apartment. It is quite spacious for a family with two children. It is part of a house which has two apartments over 1 and 3 bedrooms. The house is about 3 min drive from Rogil and the same distance from the beach. The house is fine, and clean, but it is as if the alquilaras to an agency, has the basics. There is almost no cleaning supplies, and no scrubber, mops or dish detergent. If you're going to be there only a few days is inconvenient having to buy all that. Q dishwasher has appreciated. The apartment is bright, but most take advantage of the terrace porch if I had an umbrella or awning (there was only one umbrella q used another apartment) so it was impossible to use the tertaza afternoon sun there was, I could not open my eyes , a shame. The area also used as terrace of our apartment had a bedroom window of the apartment next door, so it lacked privacy, and speak q thing was breakfast time, should wake the neighbors. One problem is that there are plenty of mosquitoes. Have screens, but still, and taking care to keep the doors locked, every night before bed we had to go to the children's room to kill mosquitoes, and ours .... despite that, every night we They itched several. The walls have marks dead mosquitoes. Helga has been gentle in dealing via email, since we not met in the house there was a lady q is responsible for cleaning (maria think) also friendly, although sólo.la saw a while one day. We got a good price for the house, and that was fortunate, if not seem to me somewhat expensive. It is correct, but missing details to make it more inviting, such as the awning to use outer space, and q one of the reasons why we chose it was because it was a country house.

Alicia2016-08-07T00:00:00Z

The beach is about a kilometer away and there are empty waves for surfers. Super clean, lovely views and easy to get to the beaches (car needed). For the price, great value.

Hugh2017-08-23T00:00:00Z

This is a beautiful place. Clean, quite and very near of the most beautiful beaches. Helga has organiced everything perfect. Rogil is small but it has a very nice bakery where you can eat delicious food and a pizzeria. We loved this place just away from the crouwd... We defenitly recommend this oase.

holiday home 1km from the center of the village Odeceixe and 3km from the beach in a rural farmhouse, in a quiet place, ideal for rest.
The house consists of two bedrooms, living room, bathroom, fully equipped kitchenette and mezzanine.

Our farmhouse is situated on the moor, by which designate the coastal platform that extends between the cable Sines and San Vicente / Sagres. Here the landscape is open, flat, gently sloping to the sea, punctuated by farmland, agricultural farms and pine forests. No privacy, but without the feeling of isolation. Odeceixe is just a kilometer away to the south and the homonymous beach to three.

Great solution for those who want the quiet of the countryside 10 minutes from the beach. For being on the field, you will have to deal with some insects and signal faults (example on the TV), but you will have access to a lot of quiet and an incredible starry sky.

Joana2017-06-18T00:00:00Z

We were delighted with Fernanda's place. It was exceptionally clean and furnished with everything we needed. The property is in an ideal location as it's in a quiet and remote area but was only an 8 minute drive from Odeiceixe beach and 5 minutes drive from the village. Best of both worlds! The property was peaceful for us but also very exciting for our 8 year old who had lots to explore outside (and loved sleeping up in the loft.) We met both Fernanda and her husband who were lovely and accommodating. I would recommend this property for both adults travelling alone and also for families. Thanks again Fernanda!

Sophie2017-07-10T00:00:00Z

Hello Fernanda, I enjoyed spending a week at home. Your house is very comfortable, clean and well stocked. The children have been happy in your garden with chickens, rabbits, dog violet .... Always attentive, bringing us persimmons, oranges, lemons and peanuts in your garden. Thank you very much!

Ana2016-04-02T00:00:00Z

Yes, in general, our experience in the house was very positive. We were greeted very well and the house was in great condition!

Rita2016-08-13T00:00:00Z

Fernanda and her husband were very welcoming. He picked us up at Odeceixe center to take us into the house, which is 5 minutes car, isolated in the fields. They exploit a garden near the house, we have therefore seen regularly during our stay. They even offered vegetables (delicious) their production!

Gisèle2016-07-31T00:00:00Z

For guests with children we can provide cots for the bedroom. Younger children can sleep on an extra bed in the living room or, if over seven years old, can use the low mezzanine level – a great adventure for kids (accessed via a small staircase). Alternatively, if they are old enough, we have a fully decorated yurt (Mongolian Tent – see website for pictures) within sight of the apartment. Please check for availability.

Embedded in the eco reserve and a short 3 km drive away from the town of Odeceixe and from there just 3 km away from the stunning 1st price wining beach of Odeceixe we have the best of both worlds to offer.
During the day and especially at night it is so quiet you can hear a pin drop, the nocturnal animals sing their songs and the stream that divides the Algarve and the Alentejo trickles endlessly over the land. Apart from our houses that are built as ecologically as possible we have a beautiful bio-dynamic garden that produces lovely food for you to enjoy. Great walks and strolls by the river stream can be undertaken.
If you want some more movement but not too much you can take a bike, walk or drive to Odeceixe, a little sleepy town where time has stood still. Around the area traditionalism is very tangible, agriculture and fishery are one of the main activities. An area where donkeys are still ploughing the fields and the fish is served straight from the boat onto your plate.
Odeceixe Beach is a 1st price winning beach in the huge Natural Park that surrounds it. The beach is great for surfing, body boarding and sunbathing. It lends itself for playing lots of games and because of its width during low tide it’s almost a round beach. The stream that runs over our land flows into the sea. At the river side the ocean’s waves are cancelled out and harnesses great opportunity for families with smaller kids.
Recently the Rota Vicentina has been installed, an unbelievable experience for trekking minded people. A trail that that runs right by us goes for 100's of kilometres over the coast line and partly inland as well.
Whether you're looking for rest, nature or an acivity holiday this is the right spot.

Pura Vida is a beautiful, peaceful and very special place to which we will gladly return. We spent nine wonderful days here. It all started with a very detailed and accurate directions to the property Vida Pura, which has helped us to find the fastest and best way. The welcome and check-in by Robin, Ole and Bela were very pleasant and welcoming. Immediately we felt welcome. The property is a little out of Odeceixe and very quiet. Everything is designed for life in harmony with nature and sustainability, which we liked very well. The booked accommodation can be found at Vida Pura various additional offers that you either can spontaneously at absolutely fair prices and book (when available) spot yet in advance or, such as breakfast, yoga or surfing and organic fruit and vegetables from the garden. We took breakfast and yoga hours. Often we bought vegetables from the garden and processed directly. Fresh and regional does not work! It was just perfect. Bela is a very cordial and attentive hostess who makes every effort to ensure that their guests are comfortable and completely satisfied. The apartment Natural Elements is very cozy, beautiful, high quality and furnished with great attention to detail and to the full extent provided. It makes for a relaxing holiday really nothing to be desired. When we came back after day trips, we often have us our dinner - multiple Vida Pura garden also with delicious and fresh vegetables from the - cooked and eaten in the apartment overlooking the beautiful landscape indoors or even on the panoramic terrace. On the site of some of the animals, which are very friendly and well behaved life. The dogs are friendly and vigilant, the donkeys, cats and ducks very sweet. All in all, enjoy life at Pura Vida off very relaxed and harmonious and it is easy to switch off as a guest and to enjoy your holiday to the fullest. Thank you for this wonderful time!

I stayed at Vida Pura with my husband and two children (ages 6 and 8) for 5 nights. We had a wonderful time, enjoying the beautiful natural surroundings, the nearby beaches and the tranquility of the area. The apartment was well equipped and the kitchen very functional for cooking our own meals. The interior design was both functional and artful. Amazing decor in the bathroom! Kids slept on the sleep loft. Beds and towels clean and comfortable. The thick comforters and the wood stove kept us warm! The kids really enjoyed spending time with Ole in the mornings feeding the animals - dogs, cats, donkeys, ducks and chicken. A great place to relax for a few days!

Anneli2017-01-01T00:00:00Z

Perfect place to relax and enjoy the natural environment! Love it!!!

Marian2017-03-04T00:00:00Z

An amazing place to relax and enjoy Portuguese vibrations. Great regional wine, food, fresh produce from vida pura. A wonderful place for a family holiday, our toddler absolutely loved all the animals. Near beautiful beaches and what a spectacular view from the deck!!! Very clean, comfortable, great little kitchen, it was perfect

Jessica2017-06-30T00:00:00Z

The apartment was very good, the decor and the room are great, the house is super friendly, and very well designed. A special thanks to Anabela and Robin, who in addition to friendly and kind, always showed atenciososo and attentive to the needs of its guests.

Sara2015-01-04T00:00:00Z

We would highly recommend this as if offers everything as advertised and Robin and Bella were perfect and helpful hosts. Ideal for long country walks and the three family dogs even tag along to show you the way. Only recommendation is to trust their written directions and not to rely on GPS.

Erge&Martin2015-04-28T00:00:00Z

Robin kept in touch during the day of arrival. We were late and the weather was bad so he was concerned about us finding Vida Pura. He made sure he recommended us somewhere to get food so we didn't arrive hungry. Through out our stay Robin, Bela and Ole were ever enthusiastic and happy to help. The accommodation was well equipped and immaculately clean. It is beautifully set in the lush green valley which is so peaceful and full of their animals which our wee girl loved. It is about 6km from the beach and 3km from the village. It is so easy just to slip into what they have going there such as the yoga class which are on 4 times a week. Robin will happily go out of his way to organise other things such as surfing lessons for you (and fixing your car).

Pura Vida has us extremely well-liked - a beautiful place surrounded by nature surrounded by great people and animals. Pure relaxation! They make you feel very welcome and very well looked after. The property is exactly as described and everything is made with great attention to detail. It invites you to linger. We have enjoyed the time from AZ. Pura Vida is lived and made really come alive. We'll be back!

You’ll love my place because it is close to the beaches and because of the ambiance, surrounded by nature, local fauna and flora. My place is good for couples and solo adventurers. There are two open apartments completed with everything that you need to have a confortable stay and a bigger family house. No one will share your place since all the spaces are totally private and with separate private entrances and locks. The place is located in the heart of Vicentina Coast, a Natural Park.

The property is easily acessible by the national road N120. It is 1 hour drive from Faro International Airport and 2h and 40mn drive from Lisbon International Airport. Within 5 mn from Aljezur with its castle and historic centre, it is also a 30 mn short drive from other interesting spots such as Lagos and Sagres with their castle, historic centre, fortress, megalithic monuments and roman ruins. Also close by you have the beautiful Serra de Monchique with its magificent views and great restaurants up the hill where you can enjoy a great typical portuguese meal and taste a local Medronho.

By the pictures you can see that the house is in the middle of an hectare of agriculture land.

Maria's home is a very cool and chill place. Everything is well decorated with a trendy touch. We feel ourselves like at home and truly appreciated our talks with Maria and all the good advices she gaves us to explore the neighborhood. We highly recommand this place !

The coast is carved by nature, with a coast of 40 km marked by beaches from Odeceixe, until Amado, known for its surfing conditions.

In "Lake House" you spend your vacation surrounded by the breathtaking nature of the "Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park" in the southwestern coast of Portugal.

This is the largest apartment in the Casa do lago. Very spacious and open plan and equipped. From the living room to overlook both the beautiful lake and the sea. Surrounded by magnificent nature you feel immediately comfortable here.

Surrounded by magnificent natural setting overlooking the Atlantic Ocean you can experience absolute peace here. The beach Vale dos Homens is within walking distance, others diverse beaches with a vehicle. The village of Rogil and its shops, bars and restaurants is about 1.5 km away.

The house is comfortable and clean, very well located to explore the Alentejo coast and close to the beach. Helga was nice and communicative. Recommended!

Catarina2016-08-12T00:00:00Z

Spacious, bright and very functional apartment. Perfect location in the Vicentine Coast: the closest you can be to Vale dos Homens beach, and at the same distance from Aljezur as from Odeceixe. 20km from Bordeira. Fully equipped, easy-to-operate barbecue. Two large terraces with dinner tables where you can have meals with a view to the lake.

João2017-08-19T00:00:00Z

It has been a wonderful week. The house is very well located and very comfortable. The perfect option to explore Atlantejo.

pablo2016-07-30T00:00:00Z

We felt very comfortable in the apartment. Since we were only four, we had plenty of room. Very practical are the two bathrooms, so do not often get in the way;) The kitchen equipment was good. Everything you need for everyday cooking is there and the dishwasher is a luxury, which then makes the holiday a bit more comfortable. The spacious terrace (including lounge chairs and sitting areas) are perfect for a morgentliches outdoor breakfast and a dinner at sunset. Helga and her husband were always reachable by phone for us and the handover has worked flawlessly. We definitely come again again!

Lea2016-08-27T00:00:00Z

The house Is fantastic in a wonderful Place with all' the comfort that you Can Imagine in a holiday

Visentin2017-07-22T00:00:00Z

This is a beautiful house literally in the middle of nowhere (in a good way), quiet, tranquil, very close to a beach and in driving distance to pretty much anywhere in the South West Algarve. We kept ourselves to the western beaches and the mountains which are only 45 minutes away.

Simon2016-09-08T00:00:00Z

The week my family and I spent at Casa do Lago was absolutely delightful. Apartment 3 is surprisingly large, spacious, and airy. The best thing about it is definitely the location, the covered patio area with a grill and the view to the lake. Helga was very nice and helpful from the beginning, and even organized a self check in, something we were quite pleased with because there was no time pressure. Though I would like to advise any guests in the same situation to check in advance the directions and exact address of the house, as the address in the description and the pin dropped in the map are misleading, and we couldn't find the property at first! Other than that, there were absolutely no problems! I would definitely try to book it again in the future.
